Wow, so it's been awhile!

I was skeptical of our blogging abilites! So sorry that it's been awhile!

Many things have happened in the last 5 months. One of the biggest events seems to be that I am finding myself 5 months pregnant! That's right, we're having a baby! Discovering the pregnancy was a bit of a shock and really rocked my world for awhile. I don't think there has been any other event in my life that has changed me so quickly.

Everything has gone exceptionally well! It got even better when we learned that we're having a girl. I was secretly praying ferverently for a girl and am so thankful! Olivier is operating like a true hero. He's been wonderful to me. I can't wait to see him with a daughter. She already has his heart, I can tell!

We are balancing the usual stresses of a baby like finances, locations and emotions. More than anything, I feel a close presence of the Lord. Never before have I felt like God is my friend. I've felt His gentleness and his authority over my life. I've given over all my trust and hope to him. Some days I feel utterly useless and other days I stand in awe of how He orchestrates my days. Olivier and I both agree that we are living in a miracle. As I type this, I feel our little girl moving and kicking. There are few words.

Here is the latest ultrasound picture. I promise to keep this up more regularly!
